The First Night...

Jackson got a big boy bed for his 2nd Birthday with an awesome basketball comforter. While we were setting up the bed he kept climbing all over it. As soon as it was all put together he wanted to climb on the top and look at all the basketball things on the quit. He kept jumping up and down saying, "Excited, excited!". We were happy for Jackson but we were both a little nervous. With the baby coming in a few months we know that we are going to be suffering in the sleep area again soon and we thought by putting Jackson in the big boy bed that we were just starting our sleep deprivation early. When it came time for bed we said prayers by the bed (pleading with Heavenly Father to help him stay in bed) and then we tucked him in. Daddy stayed in the room for a few minutes to make sure that Jackson was settled and then he just said goodnight and walked out. We came in our room and waited, and waited, and waited...nothing. So we went to bed. I woke up about 3 in the morning worried that his new pillow had suffocated him and that was why he had not come in yet, but no he was alive and sleeping. Then the morning came, I heard him wake up about 7:3o and talk to him self for a few minutes and then I heard his door open. He was up. He came in to my room and of course said, "Watch Elmo?" I couldn't believe we had made it. The first night was a wonderful success...I will let you know how night #2 goes. ...
